What is GNOME?

GNOME Logo

GNOME is a complete desktop environment, and a comprehensive suite of applications. In GNOME, everything is easy-to-use, attractive, powerful, and works the way you expect it to.

The major components of GNOME are:

-
    -
  • The GNOME desktop: An easy - to use window-based desktop environment.
    • -
  • The GNOME development - platform: A rich collection of tools, libraries, - and components to develop powerful applications on Unix.

Where is GNOME 2.12?

We have had the GNOME 2.12 upgrade ready since the day it came out, but the FreeBSD ports tree is still in a partial lockdown for the release of FreeBSD 6.0. Merging in a GNOME upgrade during the freeze would be too disruptive, so we are waiting until the tree is completely unfrozen.

In the meantime, you can read the Development Branch FAQ for information about getting GNOME 2.12 from our development repository. However, keep in mind that maintaining a ports tree from two separate locations can be tricky; we advise that most users wait until we merge GNOME 2.12 into the main FreeBSD ports tree.

Simple solutions to build problems - quickly!

GNOME is simple and easy to build using the FreeBSD ports system, but sometimes things simply go wrong. If GNOME -- or anything that uses GNOME libraries -- is not building the way it should, simply run the gnomelogalyzer.sh tool from the directory of the failed port, and let the gnomelogalyzer figure out what's wrong and how to fix it!
